Daniel Has Wide - Spread Organization To Work On Problems Of Air Raid Warden Two meetings here this week of the group comprising the air raid wardens for the city of Southport have removed any dou* bts of the interest and cooperation of local ctizens in the Civilian Defense program. The meetings were called by Dr. Roy C. Daniel, chief warden for Southport, and most of the time on ooin evenings was speni in receiving instructions on how to carry assignments when there is need for action. On Monday night, Rev. C. L. Alligood, who attended an instructors' school at Chapel Hill, talked to the group about certain duties of an air raid warden. Last night Chas. M. Trott took over where Alligood left off and further detailed the duties of air raid wardens. Since 10-hours training in first aid is a requirement of the program, arrangements have been made to begin a course for air raid wardens next Monday night at the court house. A number of persons have indicated their desire to exceed the mi:>imum 10hour requirement by enrolling in a 20-hour Standard first aid course. Those in charge of the training program have made arrangements to obtain movies dealing with certain phases of the work, and these will be shown here, at a later date. Definite announcement will be made later.

Dairyman Dec] REA Is He In addition to affording various home conviences and various other labor saving devices about the farm, D. R. Johnson, former county commissioner and now extensively engagcu in ituumig and dairying at Winnabow, said today that the Rural Electrication was enabling him to save more than two man hours daily in the operation of his dairy. Owing to the necessity of early and late milking, lights are of course essential aobut the dairy. The REA provides these and, in addition, the power for an electric milker which effects the time saving. Mr. Johnson milks 21 cows and with the electric milker he is able to perform the work, in a .remarkably short time, twice daily. One man can do the work nf f urn rtr ortri Hrv it I quicker.

Columbus Pair In Lime-Light Public Relations Depart* ment At Fort Bragg Syndicates Story And Picture About County Father And Son Well, Joe Watts, of the Pleasant Plains section, and his son, Joe Howard Watts, are certainly In the limelight following the fact that the father was accepted for Induction in the army at Fort Bragg the other day, while his son was rejected because of a physical disability. The Public Relations office at Fort Bragg syndicated a story about them with their pictures, which was as follows: Fathers these days rrequently find themselves telling their sons goodbye as they leave for the Army. But seldom does one find a son wishing his father "the best of luck" in the service. Fort Bragg's Receation Center was the scene of such a parting recently when Joseph Manley Watts, 41, and his son, Joseph Howard Watts, 21, shook hands as the son prepared to return to their tobacco farm near Whiteville, and the father started for his first "chow line" in the Army. Both father and son were drafted at the same time, the son being rejected because of an injury resulting from a mule kick. The son ruefully explained that he had fried to enlist three times, his injury keeping him out of the service each time.

He has been supplying the ice cream company with milk for several months, making delivery of a load each day. Mr. Johnson is now experimenting with goats, having recently acquired a herd of 50 of the animals. The animals were obtained more for clearing land than any other purpose, but if It develops that there is a market for goat meat and goat milk, he may go into the production of both. Several other Brunswick farmers have gone into goat raising during recent years.

Instructing Boy Scouts at Silver Lake last week, Billy Bragaw, assistant scoutmaster, saw a terrapin floating on the lake several yards away. ,! Swimming quietly towards '.l, he was about 12 feet away when It dived. Billy dived after it, was able to see. it in the clear water and for about 30-seconds there was a fast and furious underwater race. From this Billy emerged holding the terrapin fast in both hands. The lake abounds in terrapins. Billy tried it again and again, capturing three out of six attempts. He wore no goggles. The water was about i seven-feet deep and he says ! that the turtles dived to with- ! ! in a foot of the bottom and then swam for all they were worth in an effort to get away.

"The networlf of Observeration Posts, manned by civilian volunteers, is well established in this area," Mr. Finch said. "We must keep them operating with the greatest possible efficiency, for no one knows when we may be attacked." "Because the observers are at their posts 24 hours a day to keep track of all aircraft in the sky, the Fighter Command is in a position to concentrate its fighter plane power against any enemy raiding force long before it reaches its target." Home Agent Is Away For Month Series Of Events Will Keep Miss Genevieve Eakes Out Of County Until September 5th Miss Genevivie Bakes, home demonstration agent, will not be in her office until September 5th.

From August 17th until the 31st she will be on her vacation, and from the first until the fifth of September she will be, in attendance on the district farm and home agent's conference. The 4-H encampment this week tvill be a joint gathering of club girls from Jones, Onslow and Brunswick counties. Miss Eakes is pleased with the enrollment of 18 girls that will attend from Brunswick. But for the fact that this is a busy season on the farms ind the girls have been, and still ire, taking such an active part in the handling of the tobacco ind other crops, a much larger Jelegation would go from this :ounty.
